M was born at 1:26 am, so we were getting into the NICU routine by now... still had high hopes that she would only be there a day or two! Ha, it was nice being in denial for a little bit Stick out tongue

Evie was born at 3:41 pm. We didn't get our scare and transfer to the other hospital/NICU until late that night.

Is the birthday bringing back bad memories for you? One of the moms at my LLL meeting said she sort of feels like she has post-tramatic stress around her preemie daugher's birthday. I was worried some of my anxiety would come back with her birthday, but so far so good.

TBH, thinking about the whole thing is still very unsettling... mostly the fact that it happened SOOO freaking fast and we were not prepared whatsoever to have a baby that night!! The birth experience was absolutely nothing how I imagined it would be. All the worry we had for Macy's health and not knowing why I went into labor so early and so fast is the really unsettling part. I totally understand having post-traumatic stress after a preemie birth, and I have a lot of anxiety thinking about ever being pregnant again, but I think I'm ok for now!

Yeah, that would be so scary. I agree, I think I'll be okay until we TTC/get pregnant again. I know I'll have a lot of anxiety then b/c it will be a high risk pregnancy, lots of treatments so hopefully the baby is born w/normal platelet counts, etc, etc.

We're so blessed to have our sweet, healthy girls!

Kaitlyn was born at 3:54 PM. I got up to go to the bathroom about 4:45 AM and my water broke. I sat there for probably 20 minutes (because it kept gushing out, but mostly in shock that it was actually happening) and finally I called for DH and he stumbled into the bathrom in a groggy state and I told him my water broke. She was 3 weeks early and I had planned to pack my hospital bag that weekend so we were running around the house trying to get everything together. I was also supposed to have a baby shower that day with my dad's side of the family. They still had the shower and played all the games, etc. My labor was very smooth, but at one point they were talking c-section because when they did my internal they could feel her ear so they knew she wasn't in the correct position. They tried having me lay in a bunch of different positions and after 2 hours she finally moved. We were very fortunate that she was born healthy and didn't need any assistance. Everything happened so fast and we didn't feel we were very prepared so it was all a blur. I don't think I've fully wrapped my head around the fact that she 1 today!!!

Me neither! So great that everything turned out well with Kaitlyn!

That's funny--I was supposed to have a shower that day too!
